Doha: Inspection campaigns play a vital role in creating awareness about  the importance of preserving environment  and deterring harmful practices in natural reserves and desert areas, while reinforcing efforts to preserve Qatar’s unique terrestrial ecosystems.

This was emphasised during the latest inspection campaign conducted by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC) in the southern region of the country.

Assistant Director of the Terrestrial Protection Department at MECC Salim Qadri Al-Yami detailed the types of violations detected during the campaign.

Speaking to Qatar TV recently, he said that these included unauthorised grazing, illegal dumping of waste in undesignated areas, and setting up camps or structures without proper licenses or failing to renew expired permits.

“These inspection campaigns are part of our scheduled operations,” said Al-Yami.
